Overview

  • Powered by rear-wheel-drive CLA 250+ and all-wheel-drive CLA 350 4MATIC models, both packing 85 kWh batteries that yield up to 761 km in the WLTP cycle.
  • Built on the Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture, it mirrors the CLA saloon’s mechanics while adding aero-optimized bodywork and a longer roof for greater efficiency.
  • The interior features a one-piece panoramic glass roof with electronically adjustable transparency and 158 LED-lit stars integrated with the ambient-lighting system.
  • Offers 455 litres of cargo space in the rear, expanding to 1,290 litres with seats folded, plus a 101-litre front trunk for additional storage.
  • Europe sales begin in March 2026, followed early next year by 48 V mild-hybrid petrol variants, and a Mercedes-Benz Australia spokesperson says a local launch is under evaluation.
